I have a Asus GTX 1060 3GB OC Edition and I think I'm hardcore bottlenecking my GPU my current cpu/APU is the amd a10 5800k
which processer would be good for my mobo since it's an fm2 socket still and not planning to upgrade for a bit to ddr4

My current mobo is the F2A85-M PRO
 
Likely, your cpu is limiting you.
Try this test:
Run YOUR games, but lower your resolution and eye candy.
If your FPS increases, it indicates that your cpu is strong enough to drive a better graphics configuration.
If your FPS stays the same, you are likely more cpu limited.

You buy a APU for the excellent integrated graphics.
But, there are no real good upgrades, particularly for a gamer.
If you install a superior discrete graphics card, you will have thrown away the big advantage of the APU.
Then, you are left with a relatively weak cpu. Most games depend on only a few fast cores.

Bottom line.....
What you get with a APU is what you will live with forever.
